DISCLAIMER: FAIRY TAIL IS NOT MINE

Now onto the story!

Lucy P.O.V.

As I got home, the words Master said still lingered around. Jellal getting beaten per week for a year! What did he do!' I went to my cute little bathroom and stripped out of my clothes. I started the water in the bathtub and added my favorite vanilla and strawberry body soap. I soak in there for a good 15 minutes and shampooed my hair. I got out after rinsing my hair and body thoroughly and got out of the refreshing bath. I go to my closet and changed into some pajamas. I then ate some quick dinner and brushed my teeth. After writing some more in my novel, I went to bed thinking, I hope you're ok, Jellal… and slept peacefully.

When the next day came around, Master gave my a ticket to Crocus, the city where Jellal is. When I got there, Doranbolt told me what I was going to do for this one year mission.

"Hey Jellal, how's it going,' I ask when I go in his cell. But then I realize that he is shirtless, I started blushing 50 shades of red! But then I noticed all of his wounds he got from his punishment. "OH MY GOD, JELLAL ARE YOU OKAY," I asked. Yeah, more like screamed.

He tried to look up at me, but winced. "Here, let me help." I bandage and heal most of his wounds, and he gave me a weak smile.

"T-thanks, Lucy," he says very weakly. I hug him, shocking him and whispered in his ear.

"Don't worry. I have the perfect alibi for you." I hug him even tighter, but not tight enough to reopen his wound.

"Hey Lucy, why are you doing this for me?" That question surprised me. Why am I doing so much for him? Well, he did comfort me a few days ago.

"Why am I doing this for you, you ask? Because were friends, right? You helped me when I was down, and you did the same to me."

He shook his head and said, "But I'm a wanted man...I almost killed Er-"

He was cut off when Lucy stood up, put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Buts are for sitting! Forget the past! Just don't forget what the past taught you!" Jellal took in those words and smiled.

"Thank you, Lucy-chan" And with that, I am like a ripe tomato.

"Ahem, Lucy-san and Jellal, Lucy-san needs to go to her sleeping quarters. Say your goodnights and come on," says Lahar, as he enters without knocking.

"Um... Well I'll see you tomorrow, Jellal."

"Wait, um... Lucy-chan, will you sleep with me? Not like that, but will you stay with me?" Jellal asks, blushing and looking really cute. How did I not notice his defined abs! GAHH! LUCY PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! YOU DON'T LIKE HIM LIKE THAT!

"Um… Lahar, would it be okay if I stay?" I asked.

Lahar looked at her, gave her a gentleman-like smile and answers, "It's fine, Lucy-san as long as you don't let him escape!"

Jellal P.O.V.

Wow, I never thought that Lucy would be that nice. Even to me. I mean, she is really cute, with her beautiful, soft blonde locks-WAIT JELLAL WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! YOU KNOW THAT SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU LIKE THAT! Anyways, Lucy just left to change into her PJ's so now I'm just sitting here. I wonder why she agreed to sleep in here with me. I mean they probably gave her a really nice room, it is a one year mission.

"Hey um… Jellal," she says while looking kawaii. She was wearing a light blue silk robe, with a white silk nightgown. "Now, we can't sleep on the floor, can we? Open, gate of the Ram, Aries! "

"I-I'm s-sorry," Aries stuttered.

"Aries, can you make beds for Jellal and I?"

"H-hai," she says, while making two fluffy beds.

"Okay, thanks. You can go now," Lucy says while Aries dismisses her self.

"That's quite the spirit you got there. I mean, this wool is so soft and fluffy, and she seems very loyal to you," I say to Lucy as she giggles.

"Yeah, I can depend on all of my spirits to help me when I'm in a bind. But my most loyal spirit is Leo the Lion," Lucy says with a smile. *yawn* "Well, I'm tired. I'm gonna go to sleep!"

Time Skip: Morning

Lucy P.O.V.

As I woke up, I turned to the side and saw Jellal's beautiful sleeping face. He looks so innocent and defenseless.

"Like what you see, Lucy-chan?" Jellal asks with a smirk on his face. I turned 100 shades of red while Jellal replies, "You don't need to answer. I got the answer from your blushing cheeks."

"S-shut up! I am going to my room to get dressed." As I walked to my room, I ran into Doranbolt.

"Hey, Lucy-san, can you meet me in the main room? We need to discuss your schedule." I said yes, and we continued on our separate ways. I choose white leggings, a purple tank-top tunic, a black cardigan, and brown boots.

"Lucy-san, sit down," Doranbolt says while patting a chair. "I want you to come here every other day. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Jellal's beatings-," Jellal noticeably winced while he said that, "will be on Wednesday."

"When can I give my alibi?" I ask, needing to know.

"This afternoon. I scheduled a meeting with Lahar, he will be like the judge. You two are dismissed." Doranbolt walks away, leaving Jellal and I alone. I smiles weakly and looks at Jellal.

"You know, I'm gonna get you out of here," I say with a reassuring smile. Jellal sighed and said,

"You don't have to do this, Lucy...Anyways, can I ask you a question?" Lucy smiles and said, "Shoot!" Jellal looks at her seriously and asked," W...Why are you doing this?"

"Because you're my friend, you help cheer me up when I was crying, and you're in a bad situation right now." Lucy answered. I smiled then he returned it. "Well, I need to catch my train to Magnolia, I need to tell the Guild about this mission." I gave a small wave, and left to my room.
